Happy Chinese New Year! CNY is the biggest holiday in Singapore, so almost all the malls and establishments are closed today (the equivalent of Holy Week in the Philippines). Normal offices are closed too, but since our office caters to non-Singapore-based clients, we have to work. Most of our Chinese colleagues are on leave, though, […]

2Degree Ice Art: Wintry New Year’s Day in Singapore
So on New Year’s day I decided that I wanted to do something new, so I checked out 2Degree Ice Art, Singapore’s largest ice sculptures exhibition to date, with my friends Jemma and Joc. I have never experienced real winter before (no wait, I did in Korea, but there was no ice involved, just 2 […]
New Year 2014: Marina Bay Fireworks
I was tempted to just stay in for New Year like my other friends because I was too lazy to go out, but I thought to myself: NO! You can’t start this year off like an old woman! That is no way to start the year, you will end up acting like a boring oldie […]
Hello, 2014!
First of all, I want to greet you: My favorite New Year quote is from the movie New Year’s Eve: It’s suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the new year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, […]
Highlights of My 2013
I can’t believe it’s the last day of 2013! Someone recently asked me what was something that I did for the first time this year and I drew a blank. Must be signs of aging because when I looked back on my blog, I realized that I did a lot of stuff, actually! Thank goodness […]

A College Christmas Reunion in Singapore

Thanks to him, Maya and I had a chance to have a Christmas reunion even if we’re not heading home for the holidays. We had dinner in Swensen’s in Tampines mall because it was […]
A Great Gatsby Christmas Party
Last Sunday we held our annual Christmas party for LZ (hometown friends based in Singapore). As usual we had a theme, but instead of the usual color scheme theme, this time we went with The Great Gatsby because why not? I used an old headband which I wore as a bridesmaid flower girl for Chi’s wedding […]
